Application tiled- May 26,

This invention relates to atoy-l adapted to be use-dA both for amusementand educational purposes, one ofthe objects being to provide a device ofthis character with which dil'er- 6 ent kinds of games can be played andwhich -will aford amusement not only to children but also to adults.

A further object is to provide a toy which' is simple and. compact inconstruction'and l can be made and sold at'low cost. l v

Wit-h the foregoing and other objects'in view which appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in thecombination andarrangement of parts and inthe del tails of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed,v it' 'being understood that changes in thepreciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made withinthe scope ofI what is claimed, Without departing from the spiritof theinvention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention hasbeen shown.

In said drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the toy, a portion beingbroken away. s

- Figure 2 lis a central transverse section therethrough. l

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates thecircular board con-- so stituting the body of the toy, this beinglvformed of any suitabley material such as heavy cardboard which can beprovided with a reinforcing rim 2 ofmetal having its ed es' lappingopposed :laces of the bodgl.` evglured to opposite. faces of the bol y.'atthe centerv thereof are disks 3 and 4 which can be connected byrivets 5 or ythe like. Through .these disks and through 'the center' ofthe-body is extended a pivot pin 6 the upper end of which is preferably.ointed as at p so asto constitute a 'bearing or the inner end wall. ofa' recess 8 formed within the shank port-ion 9'of'a knob 10. `This shankportion is extended through the A'center of a rotatabledisk 11.to 'whichit is firmly conlheld together and to the d1sk 11 bycrivets 14 or .thelike. The marginal portionl Aofthe rotatable disk 11 is lpreferablydownturned linger piece 29 from the indicator 19. This finger piece isadaptedltobe struck by the' l finger when the indicator 4isto beactuated.

igure 1. Adjacent this pointer the disk is' provided with an opening 17and the inner downwardly on the disk 4 which 'servestoL nected by meansof attaching disks 12 and.

1927.'4 serial Nalisasaa.'

with a pointer 18 as shown in Figurel. l. ".An arrow-shaped index 19 isInountedto` rotate freely on the pin 6, this vindex bearing` space itfrom the top surface of thebody'l. The head 20 of the index has-anyopeningf21 `thereinwhile another opening 22is pro-vided# -l .1n thetail portion of the index..

The top surface of the body 1 is divided into concentric'series ofspaces 23, 24, 25and 26 by circular lines 27. These spaces are allseparated .b radial lines v28.` f Arran'ge within the outer spaces 23are f pictures, the answers to problems in arithmetic or problemswithout the answers, the 7 vnames of objects, etc.A 4In the next seriesof spaces 24:v are arrangedl data relating to those objects inthe'spaces 23 at diametrically'opyposed points. The spaces 24' are adaptedto be successively displayed through the open# 'mg 22 when the index 9is rotated about-*its e pivot while the 'spaces 23' are adapted to besuccesslvely designated by the head 20 during the rotation'of the index.-The spaces 25.' can beprovided with data for use 1n play-l 80 lng agame, thespaces in the structure illus- I .trated being provided withnumerals and ,lettersso that any one of. the spaces' can be designatedby-the indicator 16 when disk 11 is rotated. yThe inner spaces 26 areyrovided S' with data pertaining' to various p ays that can be made inthe gamefof baseball and any one of these spacesv26 can 'bel viewedthrough the opening 17 when the disk 11 is' rotated.`

In'practice-theitoy can be used by spinnlng the indicator 19.. .If-thesame comes to a stop withvthe head point-ing to the pic'- ture of a-{ishin one of the spaces 23, the name of `the object thus designated'will appear in the openin 22. -Or, should the picf ture' of a turtlegb20v the'word Turtle would appear in the openingf22. Likewise should theproblem 8.3 be indicated by the head 20 theanswer im 21 the data Howeverby using this opening h 1 t e tai por-` appearing beyondthe center o eindicated by 'the' head `r tion of the indicator can be read inconnection with the data appearing'in the o ening 21. For example, andas shown in igure 1, the problem 8-3 is answered by the 16 can also beused in connection With the data appearing` in the space 25 for playingsome other form of game based upon stamped selection of charactersappearingy in the spaces.

By mounting the disk 11 so that it can swing as well as rotate relativeto the pin 6 it will be apparent that by spinningthe disk the same canbe caused to Wabble and thus r Vrictionally engage the indicator 19 andcause the same to move therewith. There# fore, by t-he operation of the'central disk,

' both of the movable parts can be actuated.

In other Words the indicator 19 can be operated by the wabbling motionof the rapidly rotating disk 11 or it can be actuated by snapping thefinger againstthe upstanding piece 29. A

What is claimed is:

A device of the class described including a body having concentricseries of spaces, a central bearing pin upstanding from the body, anindicator mounted to .rotate freely on the pin and provided with a headfor indicating any one of the spaces of one series and an aperture'inthe tail portion of the indicator through which any one of the spaces inthe next adjoining series Will be displayed, there being data displayedin the spaces of the outer series and in the spaces of the nextadjoining series, a disk mounted to rotate freely upon and' be supportedby the pin and adapted to Wabble on the pin, a knob rotatable with thedisk, there being an aperture within said disk through which any one ofan added series of spaces will be displayed, said disk, While rotatingand Wabbling, constituting means for intermittently engaging theindicator frictionally, thereby to rotate the same.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature.
